Это стандарт по пищевым продуктам.

Responsibilities in this QPE are assigned to named functions. Management may assign specific responsibilities to alternative functions to meet organizational needs. All responsibilities assigned must be defined, documented in local procedures and understood.
It is the responsibility of key users of this QPE to assure local understanding of, and compliance with, these QPE requirements.

Ну не функция же? Как responsibilities могут быть assigned to функции?
Или все-таки могут?

Еще у меня проблема с local procedures. ... оформлены документально В ЧЕМ?

Заранее спасибо
